Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

There are a variety of reasons that Back to You was canceled after a single season on the air, but quality most certainly is not one of them. The 17 episodes collected in this three-disc set reveal that this was a sitcom with all its ducks in a row, including an excellent pedigree (between them, co-executive producers Christopher Lloyd and Steve Levitan had been involved in various capacities in shows like Frasier, Just Shoot Me, and The Golden Girls), considerable star power and chemistry with Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton in the lead roles, a fine supporting cast, and first-rate writing. The premise is good, too: Having left Pittsburgh TV station WURG a decade earlier to pursue fame and fortune in places like Dallas and Los Angeles, news anchor Chuck Darling (Grammer) has returned to his former employer. His failures in those larger ponds have scarcely made him less preening and arrogant, but the news that a drunken one-night stand with once and future co-anchor Kelly Carr (Heaton) resulted in a daughter who’s now ten years old definitely throws him for a loop. What ensues is a season’s worth (well, almost--the 2007 Writers Guild strike left the producers without a full complement of episodes) of typical rom-com sniping, snarking, and sexual innuendo between the two stars. Do Chuck and Kelly tell little Gracie (and everyone else) the truth? How long will it take before the two parents admit they’re crazy about each other and get on with their long-delayed relationship? Nothing groundbreaking here, but Back to You is smart, adult, sometimes pretty silly (a running gag involving goldfish in "Fish Story" is a riot), and almost always funny, even as it deals with such serious issues as a dad trying to get to know the kid he never even knew he had. As for the supporting cast, Fred Willard is reliably off-the-wall as a veteran sportscaster, and Ty Burrell excels as the field reporter whose humiliating assignments only deepen his bitterness that he didn’t get the anchor gig (oddly, the cheesecake weather girl disappears before season’s end, while Gracie is played by two different actresses). Best among the bonus material is a 30-minute behind-the-scenes featurette that details the making of the show, from conception to cancellation. --Sam Graham

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant series :-), June 7, 2008
By Little Miss Cutey (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Back To You will have you in stitches. It's such a brilliant, sharp and quick witted script and the casting couldn't be more perfect. The chemistry between Kelsey and Patricia is fantastic. Each episode I've seen, I laugh almost the whole way through. Fred Ward is also in this and he is great in anything he stars in.
Kelsey Grammer plays Chuck Darling who is forced to return to his old TV station in Pittsburgh, where he discovers that he and his co-anchor (Kelly Carr) had a child together. It's made all the more funny because they 'can't stand each other' although you know that deep down, they'd jump at the chance to be together and rekindle what took place years back.
The best episode (in my opinion) is A Night Of Possibilities where the staff car pool to work (Fred Ward driving is hillarious) and Chuck wants to dine by himself and see where the night takes him, yet Ryan wants to join him.
I really love this new sitcom. It's a fresh show with terrific characters and a smart and funny script. I can only hope there are some Emmy nods here because I feel they are truly deserved. Treat yourself to this when it eventually comes out. It will be so worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars BRING IT BACK!, May 27, 2008
This show was fantastic from start to finish, even despite the writers strike! The pilot was one of the best pilots I've ever seen, the actors superb, the situation had years of exploration and story to go. It was funny, clever, charged with great character (and actor) chemistry! The best sitcom I have seen in years and I hope someone rethinks things and gives this show a well-deserved second season!!! My favorite show of 2007-2008!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the good stuff., May 27, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Hello,Truly fun situation comedy to watch. I love that it's getting better with each episode. The fact that FOX didn't renew for another season kinda makes me wonder if "Back to You" is simply getting sold to the highest bidder. Still I worry Mr Lloyd might not get the overwhelming credit he is owed. Wings,Frasier, and now Back to you...All masterpieces of this screenwriter/producer...I am grateful!
